This Week in Awesome (2/22/14)

I have no excuse: I was home all day yesterday, doing not much of anything...

I love being able to look at photos like these for a slice of urban life in the not-too-distant past. Think how much easier it is to do this today with our smartphones. (Time via Laughing Squid)

You may remember my earlier references to the Comedy Central show Key & Peele. Their action movie-loving valet attendant characters (I have no idea if they have names) have a surprise encounter with one of their favorite stars in a clever bit of cross-promotion for his upcoming movie. (Note to marketers: THIS is how you do this type of promotion in a way that does not pander to or insult your audience.)

Those of you with voyeuristic tendencies may be interested in this. (Boy Genius Report)

Rapping Brian Williams is back, with an assist this time. (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon)

And finally this week, prepare to get lost in one of the internet's rabbit holes. (The Hairpin)
